Here it is minus the submit handler
var v = $("#myform").validate({
rules: {
username: {required: true,
minlength: 4,
remote: {url:"lookup.php",
type : "post",
data: {table:"members",
failmsg:"true",
successmsg:"false",
key:"username",
value:function(){return $("#username").val
(); }
}
}
},
password: {required: true,
minlength: 5
},
email: {required: true,
email: true
},
zipcode: {required: true,
minlength: 5
},
phone: { phoneUS: true },
cellphone: { phoneUS: true },
fax: { phoneUS: true },
}, //end of rules
messages: {
username: {
required: "<br>Enter a username",
minlength: jQuery.format("<br>Enter at least {0}
characters"),
remote : jQuery.format("<br>Sorry... {0} is
already taken."),
},
password: {
required: "Provide a password",
rangelength: jQuery.format("Enter at least {0}
characters")
},
email: {
required: "Please enter a valid email address",
minlength: "Please enter a valid email address"
}
}, //end of messages
// the errorPlacement has to take the table layout into account
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
if ( element.is(":radio") )
error.appendTo( element.parent().next().next()
);
else if ( element.is(":checkbox") )
error.appendTo ( element.next() );
else
error.appendTo( element.parent() );
}, //end of errorPlacement
// set this class to error-labels to indicate valid fields
success: function(label) {
var valid_img = '<img src="/global_libs/images/icons/
checked.gif">';
// set as text for IE
label.html(valid_img);
} // end of success
});
